Perspectives on the Rights of "Nature"
The planetary colloquia take place at regular intervals and serve mainly for academic exchange. The panel invites experts on a question with planetary relevance, who give (short) lectures from different (academic) perspectives. These impulses from different disciplines form the basis for a scientific discussion of the topic and thus promote interdisciplinary dialogue. The participation of the interested public is of course also very welcome and encouraged.
Like the Planetary Lecture Series, the planetary colloquia are designed as hybrid events: to take the conversation beyond the physical boundaries of Gießen and to make it more accessible. Afterward, the event will also be available in full on YouTube. Here you can find information about all past events in this series.
